is the Scrying achevement bugged?

[DIGI shadowdragon]

Ive done it at least 3 times now and it wont trigger

[C-Vale]

I assume so, because I also couldn't get it

[Tarious]

I think so. I just did it and didn't unlock the achievement.

[Kale_Fellblade]

Same here, should have gotten it twice but no unlock

[castwind]

same, tried with small-duel and several sl attempts still no unlocks

Crazy thing about this is I don't think this is a recent bug either. I will say that I do have the achievement but it was so long ago I don't recall how I got it. What I do remember is I ran into the same issue.
All I can say is I completed it on the Patience map in my run to get the Patience &
Puzzle Master achievement, trying to get all 3 in the same run.

I assume its description doesn't say all that is required or I got lucky on a broken achievement but I hate to assume this since it had to be for a reason.

Among things off the top of my head I think I tried was:
Different map sizes.
Playing without edited map settings.
Disabling the Rogue Realms DLC (probably biggest contributor).
Having the same hero that started the treasure hunt from the obelisk also dig up the treasure.
Never once open the clues screen; just go from starting it to digging up the treasure with none in between (probably second best guess).
I doubt it but I do usually play on Hardcore+ so maybe difficulty takes a part in it?

All I know is besides it being bugged, it still is possible to get.

I am new, but what I knoe is that the NPC can take the hints for you, which means the 1st view turns into the 5th view, trough the NPCs.

Edit:
Had it on Patience, 1st time view, 3 turns later I saw the exact position, reason 2-4 of the Factions+Gray have undone hints for the treasure.

What can also be is, you must be the 1st to find the treasure, before the NPCs.
I mean it, before the NPC find the treausere or its hints.

True that NPCs can go treasure hunting too but their progress does not share ours. They have separate treasure hunts so I don't see this being the case but at this point who knows.

I can confirm that this does NOT work. I just finished a small 1v1, defeated the AI before they got to their own pillar, found my treasure after only using one of the pillars, and did not get the achievement. This achievement seems completely broken.

[ucurius]

ok, sad that it is not working.

It was a good thought - after you mentioned it, I thought for sure that this was probably the reason. Hopefully the devs fix it in the next patch.

[Inventies]

i wish i wouldve seen this after the third time i did it was starting to think I was doing something wrong or misread it

[Skyfox]

Posting here for more visibility to the problem, tried several times despite doing everything correctly and I wasn't able to get this achievement either.

[The Gaming Torilla]

Just thought about it now but is everyone trying this on the current version or the 2.6.3 in beta? Just asking because I was wondering if its been broken or broken after the recent update.

For those that don't know, go to Manage (the gear on your game's page) > Properties > Betas > Hit down arrow for beta selection 2.6.3 (this gives the pre-2.7 version)

[DIGI shadowdragon]

ok so i think its safe to say someone will have to dig through old game versions to find a way around the problem assuming it can be bypassed at all. im mad cause its the only one im missing ;~;

Ok so, after searching a bit, there is a good answer to the problem! There is a discord server for this game, and upon joining it I realized that there is in fact a beta on steam which contains some experimental fixes, and Scrying is included in there. Also, it seems to be the primary site for updates and news, which very much revealed my worry seeing as it feels like the devs are nigh-silent on any other site. So yeah, public beta option on steam, and a suggestion to join the discord server if (like me) you were getting very stressed at the lack of news and updates.
